ANDREA SCHMITT

I cannot even describe how much Andrea helped me this past school year. Choosing universities is A LOT, from thinking it's your whole life you're choosing to what you really are looking for, to what interests you, where to go, and all the applications and essays. A LOT. Since the beginning of the school year, before I even reached out, Andrea had already read my mind and offered to help me with whatever I needed for universities. Personally, I had no idea what I was doing. I did not even know what subjects interested me, and I could not figure out the confusing university websites.

 

Andrea helped me by narrowing down little things such as: Do I want to be in a town? A city? Do I want s big school? Small school? How far away from home? Friends? All small things that when a teenager is out into stress because you need to apply in few months can't think about. Then, the big things came. The thousands of essays, what to talk about? What working should I use? What can I do to make it special? Stand out?

 

Andrea was there every step of the way, from brainstorming to correcting my many, many spelling mistakes! Not to mention, choosing which program to enrol to. It is very important to have an opinion if someone that knows you personally and in a different perspective just like Andrea knows me. She already knew what I liked and was I was interested in, but she helped me figure it out and see it to make my own decision.

 

Once again, that big yucky cloud over my head was taken piece by piece and narrowed it does and it wasn't too scary and yucky in the end. From going through essays together to getting lost into the websites. Getting scared by academic requirements but making study plans to be able to achieve them, to, finally, making my decision of acceptance. I am happy and proud of the decision I took of where to continue my studies, and I am so glad I had someone by my side that helped every step of the way. It was beyond the support that I needed, and I am very grateful because I would not have been able to achieve my acceptance and decision without my life coach, Andrea.

Coaching with Andrea has helped me immensely in the past few years, but especially during my last year at high school. During a year that was highlighted by added academic stress, uncertainty over the future, and pressure to make as many friends and memories as possible, Andrea’s guidance was like a light in the dark tunnel.

 

She offered an open ear whenever I needed, helped me set realistic goals, and ultimately gave me the confidence that I needed to challenge myself and do things out of my comfort zone. Getting ready and choosing for a university can be intimidating, but I’m glad I didn’t have to do it alone.

The most valuable thing about coaching is to be confident in myself and my decisions. I feel confident in what I say and do after talking with Andrea. She has helped me so much with my confidence. Now, at school I’m not scared to answer questions and getting them wrong. 

​

You should do coaching with Andrea because of how much she cares about everyone. I get weekly check-ins from her and her love for her job shows so much. She also supports me so much with everything. She is the easiest person to talk to, and she is so awesome!

The best thing about coaching is that Andrea will help me with any problem no matter what kind it is. 

In our teenager life, there will be some things we don’t know how to deal with, such as being social at school, having lost confidence, or others serious problems that we can’t solve by ourselves. At this time, we will need a person that can listen, and we can talk to. Andrea is that person for me!

I found working with Andrea a great experience that helped me get over one of the largest challenges I’d experienced : moving country AGAIN!

​

She is a very attentive listener who always knows the right thing to say. She helped me to feel more secure in my life and less unstable. I would recommend her to everybody.
